A confidential memo from a top TikTok lawyer urges the company to fight the “relentless onslaught of false and misleading narratives” about TikTok that the counsel claims are being pushed, in part, by journalists.
One researcher whose work is cited by TikTok said inferences that journalists are involved in pushing fake narratives about the company are “exceptionally dangerous.
The lawyer defines disinformation as “the intentional promotion of false, misleading, or misattributed information with the goal of influencing the beliefs or actions of a large group of people,” according to the memo. The team would “drive external statements, policy positions and media/regulatory responses that address false narratives and promote trust and credibility for the TikTok brand,” they say. It would also create a"‘fact-checking’ website” that “disproves frequent false statements and narratives” and shares information about TikTok’s data collection practices.
